About this award

Get approximately $1,000 for your final year of an undergraduate degree or diploma if you live in southern Alberta — apply by May 30, 2026.

There are three or more awards available at approximately $1,000 each. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and does not have to be paid back, though it is applied directly to your tuition. This is for you if you are a community leader who spends your time volunteering with non-profit groups and needs financial help to finish your schooling. You must apply by May 30, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Calgary Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. The money is applied directly to your tuition. Confirm with Calgary Foundation during your application if there are any other specific steps to ensure the funds reach your school account. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Calgary Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
